I discuss Palmerias' continued struggles up front, wonder about the future of Hernan Crespo at Sao Paulo, try to find a team that can beat the Sounders in the playoffs, and give my thoughts on the keys to Cruz Azul & Monterrey's highly anticipated semifinal showdown.   

Plus, why did Toni leave Athletico Paranaense, can David Luiz make Flamengo even better and how did Al Hilal assemble a god squad so quietly.
